About the Doctor

Dr. Angela Clay is a dedicated and comprehensively trained osteopathic dermatologist who brings a uniquely holistic approach to skin health care for patients throughout the South Lyon and greater western Michigan metropolitan area. She earned her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine — one of the nation’s leading osteopathic medical institutions and Michigan’s flagship osteopathic medical school — and completed her dermatology residency at Corewell Health East Beaumont in Farmington Hills from 2010 to 2013, training at an academically affiliated hospital that is now part of one of Michigan’s largest and most respected health systems.

As a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, Dr. Clay brings a whole-person perspective to dermatological care — recognizing that skin health is inseparably connected to overall systemic health, lifestyle, nutrition, and psychological wellbeing. This osteopathic philosophy informs her approach to conditions such as psoriasis, acne, and rosacea, where treatment success depends not only on topical and pharmacological interventions but also on understanding the broader physical and lifestyle context in which skin conditions develop and persist.

Dr. Clay practices at South Lyon Dermatology, PC — a focused dermatology practice where she works alongside a physician assistant to provide attentive, efficient, and comprehensive skin care services to the South Lyon community and surrounding areas. Her three active subspecialties — Acne & Rosacea, Cosmetic Dermatology, and Dermatologic Surgery — represent a well-rounded combination of medical, procedural, and aesthetic dermatology expertise that allows her to address the full spectrum of skin conditions and cosmetic concerns within a single, trusted practice setting.

She holds hospital affiliations with Corewell Health Farmington Hills Hospital and Henry Ford Providence Southfield Hospital — ranked #6 in Michigan — providing her patients with access to two of the Detroit metropolitan area’s most distinguished hospital systems when dermatological conditions require hospital-level care or complex surgical management. Dr. Clay holds an active Michigan State Medical License through 2027 and has previously held licensure in Missouri, Illinois, and Florida, reflecting the geographic breadth of her professional development and career experience. She has also been recognized with professional awards and honors that underscore her commitment to excellence in dermatological practice.

Services Offered

Dr. Clay’s dermatology practice at South Lyon Dermatology, PC offers a comprehensive and thoughtfully integrated range of medical, surgical, and cosmetic skin care services — all delivered with the whole-person sensibility that defines osteopathic medicine. Her practice is designed to serve as a trusted, long-term dermatological home for patients seeking both medically necessary skin care and aesthetic skin enhancement, providing consistent, personalized attention across all dimensions of skin health.

Medical dermatology forms the clinical foundation of Dr. Clay’s practice. She provides expert evaluation and ongoing management of a wide range of common and complex skin conditions — including psoriasis, acne, rosacea, eczema, contact dermatitis, skin infections, and inflammatory skin disorders — approaching each condition with the nuanced understanding that skin disease is often a reflection of broader systemic or lifestyle factors. Her osteopathic training supports a treatment philosophy that integrates conventional pharmacological interventions with lifestyle guidance, nutritional awareness, and patient education, recognizing that the most effective and durable outcomes result from treating the whole patient rather than the skin condition in isolation.

Dermatologic surgery is a significant component of Dr. Clay’s procedural expertise. She performs surgical excisions of skin lesions, cysts, and growths, as well as cryosurgery, electrosurgery, and skin cancer screening and removal procedures. Her surgical subspecialty training enables her to manage conditions ranging from benign growths that affect patients’ comfort or confidence to potentially malignant lesions that require timely and precise surgical intervention. For patients with skin cancer concerns, Dr. Clay provides thorough full-body skin examinations and lesion evaluations, ensuring that any suspicious growths are biopsied and managed promptly and appropriately.

Cosmetic dermatology represents the third dimension of Dr. Clay’s practice — offering patients access to a wide range of non-invasive and minimally invasive aesthetic treatments designed to refresh, rejuvenate, and enhance the appearance of the skin. From cosmetic filler injections and Botox to laser therapy, chemical peels, and hair and tattoo removal, Dr. Clay provides medically supervised cosmetic care that is grounded in clinical expertise and delivered with an eye for natural, aesthetically balanced results.
